D) 1872 gallons

Answer 1

The Wells family drinks approximately 1224 gallons of milk in 14 days. Hence, C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much milk the Wells family drinks in 14 days, we need to determine the amount of milk they drink per day and then multiply it by 14. Since the family drinks 612 gallons of milk per week, we can divide this number by 7 to find the amount of milk they drink per day.

612 / 7 = 87.43 gallons per day.

Multiplying this number by 14 will give us the amount of milk they drink in 14 days:

87.43 × 14 = 1224.02.

Since we can't have a fraction of a gallon, we round it to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the Wells family drinks approximately 1224 gallons of milk in 14 days. The correct answer is C) 1224 gallons.
